The sun is shining brightly. Xiao Siwen stood at the head of the city, looking at the continuous earth wall fence hundreds of steps away. The huge Zhou army phalanx on the front of the tower would flood Youzhou City at any time like a sea of people. The tall ladders and carts are like buildings built outside the city.
The whole circle around the city is foggy, a sign of dust in the air. Zhou Jun lined up. Although the scene was quiet for the time being, the atmosphere was already tense when seeing the prepared men.
The city was not besieged, and there was a wide gap in the east gate... but Xiao Siwen had already found out that the main force of the Zhou army was divided into two parts, one on the west bank of Wenyu River in the east of Youzhou City; the other at Chengbei University camp. As soon as he ran out, he was besieged by Zhou Jun cavalry!
Leave a mouthful of the siege, just to give the defenders a way out and to dissolve the defenders’ determination to defend themselves. Xiao Siwen could see through it at a glance, and he was still a little annoyed: Did Guo Tiejiang look down on himself so much, thinking that he would run away from the east gate and throw himself into it? !
At this moment, there was a loud "boom"!
The sound of the huge cannon was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, breaking the tranquility of the world. As if the drum of war was blasted before the war!
Siwen Xiao felt the brick floor trembling at his feet, and a white smoke rose in the distance. Xiao Siwen raised his head subconsciously and saw a cobblestone coming from the air. After a while, Xiao Siwen even saw the rock tumbling rapidly in mid-air, and the whistling of strong wind faintly heard.
"My lord, we have to withdraw." Abodi hurriedly persuaded.
Shaw Siwen pressed the sword and turned and left. The flag under the city wall shook his head eagerly, and a team of soldiers ran up the ramp from the wall one by one with their weapons.
...Tanzhou tower, guard Tao Bin standing on it, silently watching the Liao army cavalry slowly moving on the road.
The surrounding Han'er soldiers and Khitan officials are also watching. Wang Bin glanced at the Khitan people standing in the distance, and whispered to a military commander beside him: "Hurry up and send people to see the Emperor of the Great Zhou. The reinforcements for going to Beijing are here. Enter from the north entrance. There is a large group of palace tents. After finding out the specific number of people, send someone to report."
The general clasped his fist and said: "Here."
Tao Bin looked calm and composed, and after a while he saw the Khitan text on the banner clearly, and said in his heart: Yeluxiu's men might be the forward of the Liao army.
At this time, a group of cavalry rushed to the city, pointed their heads up with their horsewhips and shouted in Khitan dialect: "Daliao Zhou Guogong Yeluxiu's army marches south, the food and grass are all ready? The city gate is not opened yet!?"
Tao Bin immediately ordered the city gate to be opened and walked down to meet him.
As soon as the first batch of cavalry of the Liao army came in, they immediately drove away the Han soldiers from up and down the city gate and took control of the city gate. After a while, I saw Yeluxiu riding into the city on a horse, surrounded by banners. His angular face was already fierce, and his stern face was even more awe-inspiring.
The Khitan soldiers on both sides of the city gate pressed their hands on their chests and bowed to Yeluxiu who came slowly in the middle of the road, but did not have to speak.
Han General Tao Bin led his generals on one knee and bowed respectfully: "Welcome the handsome!"
Yelixiu stopped his horse in front of Tao Bin and looked down at him. Tao Bin didn't look up, but felt Yeluxiu's gaze from the corner of the light, and suddenly a huge pressure was pressed on his head. He calmed down, keeping his fist held on one knee and performing the military salute, motionless.
Is the secretly surrendering to Da Zhou revealed? !
Yelüxiu stood in front of him with a gothic spirit. Tao Bin had a guilty conscience, and immediately thought of the secret matter. There was a chill in his heart, and his heart raised his throat!
Brother Yeluxiu stood for a while, and said, "Is the food ready?"
"Return to the commander, I will receive the official document at the end, and I have tried my best to prepare the grain." Tao Bin said loudly in Khitan, his voice was very stable.
"Get up and talk." Yeluxiu's tone eased slightly.
Tao Bin bowed and stood up, feeling a little relieved.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Yeluxiu suddenly asked: "Have you surrendered to Zhou Kingdom?"
Tao Bin was taken aback in his heart, looking at Brother Yeluxiu's face, Brother Yeluxiu also squinted at him. Tao Bin said: "If you will surrender in the end, how can you stay here and wait for the arrival of the Marshal and the Daliao Warriors?"
Brother Yeluxiu was silent for a moment, and then asked: "How much food is there?"
"Five days' worth of food for ten thousand horses." Tao Bin said.
Yelixiu's face suddenly changed: "Tanzhou is such a big site, just this point?"
Tao Bin calmly said: "Marshal, a few months ago, the hundreds of thousands of people in the Liao Army had already emptied the treasury. At the end of the day, I will try my best to get these food and grass."
Yelixiu said coldly: "Just a few months?"
Tao Bin said: "The time for the requisition of grain in summer and autumn has not arrived, and the people are also suffering from military disasters, famine, and cold since last year. It is really impossible to collect grain..."
"Stupid!" Brother Yeluxiu yelled angrily, took a deep breath, and said coldly, "The official was given to you by Da Liaofeng, not a favor from the people of Han'er."
Tao Bin hurriedly said: "What the commander said!"
Yelixiu patted his horse and left, and the Khitan general behind him gave Tao Bin a cold look.
Thirty thousand of the Liao army rode into the northern city of Tanzhou, and Yeluxiu directly pointed to a house nearby and designated it as a barracks. The cavalry rushed into the hall with a few han'er, banging on the gongs and drums and shouted: "Leave all within half an hour, otherwise you will kill you!"
When the people fled, Xiao Niang was arrested again. However, the Liao army did not move the family members of the Han generals in Tanzhou.
Brother Yeluxiu walked into the requisitioned Chinese army's convoy, called the Khitan officials in Tanzhou, and asked about the military situation.
The Khitan official replied: "Youzhou is besieged on three sides, and there are gaps in the Dudong City, but there are wandering activities. This morning, the cannons of the Zhou army camp have just begun to attack the city and gather the infantry under Youzhou City. There may be more than 100,000 cavalry. The cavalry is divided into two battalions, one on the west bank of Wenyu River and the other on the north of Youzhou City."
Brother Yeluxiu sneered: "More than a hundred thousand infantrymen are only useful for Youzhou City, but for us! Cavalry, at most more than fifty thousand horses, there is something to say in a decisive battle, I want to keep this handsome , It’s a bit missing!"
Although Brother Yeluxiu is unpleasant and fierce, his tone of voice at this moment immediately inflated the generals. The generals said one after another: "The commander is the Khitan hero and the tiger of the grassland!"
"Pop!" Brother Yeluxiu picked up some charcoal and placed it next to the fire, and drew a few branches with the branches. "Don't worry about the infantry surrounding Youzhou. If Xiao Siwen can't keep it in January and two months, then this battle I can’t fight anymore, no wonder I’m on my head! Let’s hit the grain road on the river, just to grab the Zhou people’s food for the army to need, and save the idiots who forced those mothers-in-laws to take it; at the same time, it is also a draw from the bottom of the Youzhou Zhou army, no matter how many people. , Attack a fart city without food!"
Everyone listened sternly, no one objected.
Yelixiu simply decided the tactics, very simply and concisely. His prestige is high, and he is also violent and strong. Most people really don't dare to oppose him. Therefore, it is very effective to say that the military order is not two. Not to mention anything else, the anger that he pulls down can make people intimidate!
A tribal army nobleman said: "The commander said in a few words, but he grasped the key points everywhere. I admire me with my knowledge and the use of soldiers."
Brother Yeluxiu was dissatisfied with this kind of|horse| fart, and gave a cold "hum" with his face up.
The nobleman is not depressed. It seems that he guessed that Yeluxiu, although he snorted coldly, but he should be very useful in his heart...The noble also seemed to sincerely admire Yeluxiu, and continued: "The commander is worthy of being the No. 1 Tiger General of the Liao Dynasty. I firmly believe that if there is a war that a big man can't win in this world, then the gods can't win it! Now that Daliao is weak, it is really a disadvantage in Hebei's strength, and it is completely outnumbered... …"
Brother Yeluxiu said: "Even if the Khitan people are few, they are still tigers and wolves. No matter how many people there are in the south, they are still Han'er. This commander wants to convince you of this knowledge with your own eyes!"
The generals widened their eyes and gradually became excited. The wild eyes reflected the light from the fire, shining in the dark, and they looked like a pack of wolves.
Brother Yeluxiu calmly picked up the wooden stick and pointed to the ground, "Han'er cavalry is arranged in these two places. They have two purposes. They want to wait for Xiao Siwen's defenders to ambush and siege; protect the infantry besieging Youzhou City. , It is convenient to cut off the direction of attacking the Liao army to retreat north.
Let’s take the opportunity to looting here, the grain boat on the Juma River. The army crossed the Juma River from the west, avoided the Zhou army cavalry, and drove south, killing all Zhou people and robbing the grain boat. Then wait for an opportunity to return north. "
A general said nervously: "Shen|Enter Juma River, surrounded by the city of Zhou army..."
"This commander has already said that the only thing that can threaten us is the two Zhoujun cavalry. What's the use of these castles besides being good-looking?" Yeluxiu said coldly, without any fear on his face. , "Zhou Jun is full of more than 50,000 riders, less than twice the commander's. Unless they can surround us from all sides at the same time, otherwise they can keep the Daliao cavalry?"
Yelixiu is very sure about this... If the Zhou army cavalry is combined to block, change the direction and let them chase behind; as long as the Zhou army divides the troops, or keeps the mobile protruding encirclement, or finds the weakest link to break each one . The Liao army was an elite cavalry who was good at fighting, and it was impossible for the Zhou army to divide its forces and approach it at the same time.
Brother Yeluxiu used experience to estimate that the Liao army suddenly drove south, and the Zhou army might be able to react after approaching the Juma River...After all, it takes time for the military information to be transmitted; the Zhou army cavalry must also gather for preparation. When the robbing the food road chooses a way to return, the cavalry of Zhou Jun might be too anxious to encircle him temporarily!
The main force of the Zhou army's infantry is in Youzhou Siege. The distance that other places want to block and threaten is too short. If it is too wide, it is like sending the iron cavalry the first level.
Brother Yeluxiu watched the flags on the opposite side of the door fluttering weakly from time to time, and said, "If there is no wind tomorrow, you can attack! There is no wind or the wind is in the wrong direction, and the boat will move more slowly, and it will be like a turtle in the urn on those rivers!" /
"Great handsome and wise!" the generals bowed.
Brother Yeluxiu said: "How did you tell Zhou people to shrink last year|Go back, this time they are also told to walk the same way!"
